how to make money with adsense

I’m hoping that this website is going to spur me on to great things with regards to my endeavors to make money with adsense. With that in mind I’ve decided to share the highs and lows of my journey with the online community in the hope that if I’m held accountable for my failures I’ll be motivated to ensure that I reach any goals I set.

In order to do this I’ll have to divulge past money made from adsense so we all know where I’m starting from and where I want to be in the future. The money made from adsense up to this point doesn’t make for very exciting reading, however things are going to change in the months to come with large monthly payouts from the Big G being deposited directly into my bank account every month.

Money Made From Adsense So Far

My account went live last July and earnings have been more or less increasing month on month since then as you can see from the stats:

• July: $1.21
• August: $0.49
• September: $6.04
• October: $3.72
• November: $44.36

(In November my documentary site which had been online since July and provides the majority of my adsense income suddenly got a very welcome boost up the SERPS from Google.

• December: $71.58
• January: $71.03
• February: $89.96
• March: $101.81

(Its only the 25th of March at the time of writing so I’m course to make around $115 this month.)

Earnings From Google Adsense

Of all the actions we can take to put us on the right track to an improved financial situation setting goals is perhaps the most important. If we don’t have a set numerical goal to strive for its all too easy to make excuses when things don’t go to plan and even easier to put off doing unpleasant tasks which we know are crucial to achieving the success we desire.

Having said that I’m not entirely sure how much I should be aiming to make from Adsense. We’ve all heard the rumors of people making $100’s every day from adsense while they sit on the beach sipping pina coladas, but I’m going to keep my feet on the ground and reach for a number I feel is realistically obtainable if I put the required work in to make money from Adsense.

The best day I’ve had so far earned me $13 and that’s pretty much the only guide I have to what is possible in this Money From Adsense game. I reckon if I can make it to a point that I’m making $50 a day on a consistent basis then I’ll be very happy with my returns and I feel this figure is realistically achievable, so that’s the number I’m going to pin on the wall and aim for over the next three months. If you’re planning to make money with adsense make sure you have your own goals and do everything in your power to ensure you fulfill them.

MY GOAL: Make $50 per day from Adsense by July 1st 2009

Wish Me Luck!

I’ve been halfheartedly toying with the idea of making money online for about 8 months now but unfortunately I don’t have too much to show for my efforts. The main reason for this is that I have spent most of my time learning about the various methods others use to make money online without taking much in the way of action to make it work for me.

I’ve tried building a few websites to promote clickbank products with limited success probably due to lack of effort on my part although I feel like I gave it a fair shot. I just felt like I was single-handedly filling up the Internet with an ever increasing amount of regurgitated information in an effort to get people to click on my links.

The only area where I’ve seen a consistent income online has been from adsense which currently makes me $100 a month. Ironically most of my adsense income comes from a site I built just for fun in a niche with a very low cost per click, but with 45,000 page hits a month it has turned into a reasonable earner. With this in mind I’ve decided to dedicate more time to creating a number of websites with the intention of increasing my adsense income to an amount that would pay the mortgage. Along the way I’d like to share what I learn with anyone that’s interested, allowing others to make progress with their own online money making efforts. Maybe we can all become Internet millionaires together
